"Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have
a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For
nothing is impossible with God." Luke 1:36-7

"Praying: "O my Lord! Infirm indeed are my
bones, and the hair of my head glistens with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in
my prayer to You!...my wife is barren: so give me an heir as from Yourself, "(One
that) will (truly) represent me, and represent the posterity of Jacob; and make him, O my
Lord! one with whom You are well-pleased!" (His prayer was answered): "O
Zakariya! We give you good news of a son: his name shall be Yahya... He said: "O my
Lord! how shall I have a son, when my wife is barren and I have grown quite decrepit from
old age?" He said: "So (it will be) : your Lord says, 'That is easy for Me: I
indeed created you before, when you had been nothing!" Quran
